Lex Sorrentino

Since 1996, I have been pushing the boundaries of mixed media clay art. As a self-taught sculptor, my minimal training has been a liberation, allowing me to approach clay with refreshing freedom and no preconceived notions of its "proper" use. "Ignorance is not only bliss, but genuinely constructive, particularly in a medium as adaptable as Polymer & Air-Dry clay."My artistic heart belongs to whimsical art, where I blend various clays with diverse mediums to birth captivating creations. This distinct style has garnered international recognition, notably a first-place award in the International Polymer Clay Association Sculpture Award Global Exhibition 2023 and a close second in the People’s Choice Sculpture for Clyde 2023. Beyond my studio, I am a dedicated educator, offering weekly classes and workshops in Oxley, Canberra, and serving as the Co-Ordinator for the long-running Contemporary Craft Retreat at Tuggeranong Southern Cross Club, celebrating its 15th year.
